It's a whiz at picking up dog hair. You should see the basket filling up! It's nice you don't have to go to vacuum and discover the bag is full. Bagless is great. It steers very well, it's light-weight, and we can even use one of the attachments to suck up the dryer fluff that's in behind the filter. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs one of which sheds in a professional, competitive sense.
